Apply the troop-ratio push factor to the whole attacker tile cost - #5171

Conversation
Attacker loss per tile is now
mag * traitor * clamp(defenderTroops / attackTroops, 0.6, 2)
* (BASE * sizeModifiers + PER_DENSITY * defenderTroopsPerTile)
instead of an additive blend where the push factor only scaled the base
term. One story: a tile costs base-or-density, and a concentrated push
pays proportionally less for all of it.
The density weight is halved (0.0052 -> 0.0026) so that an attack at the
clamp ceiling (ratio >= 2, i.e. attacking with less than half the
defender's army, the common case) pays exactly what it did before.
Defender loss and tile speed are unchanged.
Impact: 348 of 670 golden rows change, all attacker-loss decreases, only
where the attack exceeds half the defender's army against dense tiles
(max -70% at ratio 0.6 vs 10k troops/tile). 3 of 38 scenarios move, all
overwhelming pushes, -2..-4% attacker loss per tile.

WalkthroughThe attacker-loss formula now uses a base loss term and a reduced defender-density term. The clamped troop ratio multiplies both terms. Territory-size modifiers scale the base term. ChangesAttacker loss formula
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The attacker-loss calculation changes simulation behavior but currently relies on fractional arithmetic and lacks focused tests for clamp boundaries and modifiers, which can undermine deterministic results and allow formula regressions. Merge should wait for the arithmetic implementation and targeted tests to be addressed. Suggested reviewers: Poem

Use integer-scaled arithmetic for the changed simulation path.
These constants and perTileLoss use fractional number arithmetic. The src/core contract requires deterministic simulation with no floating-point math. Represent the coefficients and intermediate loss values with a fixed integer scale, then define one explicit rounding step before returning attackerTroopLoss.
As per coding guidelines, src/core/ simulation code must remain deterministic and use no floating-point math.

Add tests for the changed attacker-loss formula.
Add deterministic tests for Config.attackLogic. Cover ratios below 0.6, between 0.6 and 2, exactly 2, and above 2. Also cover defender density and territory-size modifiers. Assert the preserved result at the clamp ceiling and the intended reductions below it.
As per coding guidelines, every src/core/**/*.ts change must include tests.
